hi, sometimes when i look at my phone, usually after being on wifi the phone shows no bars.
sometimes it comes back on in a min, i tried airplane mode but it wouldnt work. so i restarted it and worked fine.
not sure why it happens, does anyone else have this? could it be due to some Wifi calling setting? not sure why phone seems to just cut off.
anyone have any idea why this may be happening?
does it turn off radio for wifi calling somehow or? just random.
I have a similar issue, but not equal. Sometimes, when I try to connect to the network I always do (home), it simply doesn't work. Scanning - disconnected - scanning - disconnect. Only a phone reset fixes this.

I had a similar issue a while ago and sent Mine back to the seller but the seller claimed neither they nor Samsung could find a problem with the phone. Thankfully The seller sent me a replacement which no longer gives me this problem so it may be the handset, though it could also be the setting/Conflicting app. Someone reported here his problem Was solved after adjusting a w ifi regulating app
i have a 3-day old gnote and i started noticing this problem after i have my phone rooted. the wifi icon stays on but there's no internet connection. turning the screen off and waking the phone after a minute solves the problem but its annoying to be losing connection when you're needing it. i'm on stock KKA.

Not a user error so need to contact Samsung-don't think is anyway
I have a somewhat similar problem. When I am using wifi for somewhat long time, I am unable to connect back to my 3g. Or if I was on 3g connection and I move out of coverage area for a little more than 10 minutes, I can't reconnect to 3g. Only 3g connection has this problem though, everything else works fine.
If I restart the phone, I can reconnect. Setting to airplane mode and resetting doesn't help. Neither does resetting the mobile network operators.
Yes, the problem seems to be software related since there is no actual problem with receiving 3g/phone.
yesterday i drove back 10 hrs and streamed music/radio the entire way with only a few tiny interruptions in reception.
but often still if i just take my phone out of my pocket, the "phone" part will be off and usually turn back on within 1-2 mins.
but this is quite annoying since sometimes il literally be waiting for 1-2 mins to place a call.
my phone is "not" rooted.
Hello
My wife's stock & unrooted S4 started to turn off when she returned for a vacation (she didn't use the network for 3 months; only wifi). From what she is saying and what I witnessed, it looks like an issue with the network : when she turned it on after a flight, it started to turn off itself after a minute. When she came home, I tested it and noticed the same issue. She wasn't getting any network signal however.
When I activated the wifi (don't think it's related but who knows), it started updating apps & everything and after a while, the network finally turned on and the phone stayed on for a full night. Phone calls & texting was working.
I thought it was settled but the phone turned off itself again after she got one of my message this morning; note that it's turning off without rebooting.
Is it a known issue ? Is there a fix or a test procedure I should go through ?
Phone is up to date.
Thanks !
Hi there,
I bought a used verizon Lg g2 vs98039A with lollipop 5.0.2. The problem is that my phone is having wifi issues. Basically it keeps disconnecting after every 5 minutes or so. The wifi functions for a while then it stops receiving or sending (i can say that because the two small arrows under the wifi icon black out) and then it disconnects from that wifi by itself and then reconnects and works fine for a few minutes and repeats it. I tried the following things
1) First of all i deleted every saved wifi under the wifi tab and then restarted the phone and then reentered the password and the phone seemed to work fine for some time (usually less than a day)
2) Another thing I tried was doing the same as step 1 and also reset my router at the same time. (This worked better than the first one and its effect lasts as long as I dont restart my phone or router or connect to any other wifi device.
I also have two more problems
1) Sometimes the data connection stops working (usually works fine after restarting the phone but as I told restarting also disturbs the wifi fix i applied and hence it is again very frustrating)
2) I don't it is software related but my phone's GPS is just crappy I haven't seen it working without data. Please tell me whether its software related or just hardware.
Please help because this is really frustrating and it really irritates me. I don't really care about the data or gps issue but the wifi issue is very irritating. Please can anyone tell me a permanent way to fix this. Also note that my phone is not rooted and i have no idea about rooting. Please help!!
I've been facing this weird problem since earlier today
Anyone have any idea what might be the problem? Is it a network problem or phone problem?
It keeps shifting to Edge but whenever it connects to LTE it shows "No service" along side
Maybe not similar but I've had weird disconnects and reconnects today. It's happened about 5 times. i'm about to start keeping track of the time in between but I can't sit there by my phone the entire time to try.

It happened last night 3 times. The only way I would know is the pop-up when you successfully connect to a WiFi network.
Installed the update and went to bed.
Using the phone for about an hour this morning and suddenly a page wouldn't load--turns out WiFi had dropped, and as soon as I noticed it reconnected again.
Anyone else experiencing this? The only reason I switched phones in the first place is because my Nexus 6p started dropping LTE and GPS for a few seconds randomly...
Really hope my phone isn't defective because I won the lottery on everything else (Sony camera sensors, no major tint on the display--some, but not very significant).

This seems to be a related thread with a lot more discussion than is going on in the actual Q&A. They suggest that it's a known problem for more than a year and on other Samsung devices, affecting the 5Ghz wifi band, and as a solution it is recommended to disable "smart network switch" as well as disabling via location settings the option for bluetooth scanning even when bluetooth isn't enabled.
Sucks that you have to break multiple features to fix one longstanding bug. ?
